In these times, like others before, many are claiming that
they have identified the Antichrist. Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini, Gorbachev,
and even Reagan are some who have been "identified" as the
Antichrist. Now, however, with the apparent decrease of U.S. influence in the
Middle East peace process, due to the negative relations currently between
President Clinton and Yasser Arafat, a leader of the "Revived Roman
Empire" (the European Union, it would seem) appears ready to fulfill the
prophecy of Daniel 9:27 regarding the "'prince who is to come'" who
shall "'confirm a treaty with many for one

week'" (where "one week" means "7
years").

The Bible indicates, in Daniel 7:23-25, that this
"'prince who is to come'" will be the leader of, apparently, the 11th
nation to join what is referred to as the "Revived Roman Empire". The
European Union, given its form as a "union" of nations from the Old
Roman Empire, and given its "arising" during the same generation that
witnessed both Israel becoming a nation in 1948 A.D. and Israel regaining
control of the holiest sites of Jerusalem in 1967 A.D., is quite likely the
fulfillment of the prophecy of the "beast with 10 horns" described in

Daniel 7. The "'prince who is to come'", the
Antichrist, will apparently be the ruler of the 11th nation to join this
"Beast".

If the European Union is the fulfillment of the "beast
with 10 horns" of Daniel 7:7, then the Antichrist will be the ruler of the
11th nation to have joined that Union. Spain was the 11th nation to join the
European Union, and the current ruler of Spain is King Juan Carlos. It appears
to be quite likely that King Juan Carlos of Spain is the Antichrist.

King Juan Carlos was born in Rome, Italy on January 5, 1938
A.D.. His full name is, "Juan Carlos Alfonso Victor Maria de Borbon y
Borbon". His father's full name was, "Juan Carlos Teresa Silverio
Alfonso de Borbon y Borbon". His father was in exile from Spain while
Francisco Franco ruled Spain following Franco's overthrow of the Spanish
monarchy. Juan Carlos (the son), from the age of 10, was personally trained
under Franco's direction, and graduated from all three of Spain's military
academies.

In 1962 A.D., Juan Carlos married Princess Sophia of Greece,
and they had two daughters, and a son (Felipe). Juan Carlos was appointed
Franco's successor as ruler of Spain, against the wishes of Juan Carlos'
father, who still laid claim to the throne of Spain. In November of 1975 A.D.,
Juan Carlos became king of Spain after Franco's death. Juan Carlos is a highly
respected and honored king and "statesman", having led Spain through
a crisis in 1981 A.D. when some of the military sought to wrest control of
Spain from the

monarchy.

According to Daniel 9:27, the "'prince who is to
come'" (the Antichrist) shall "'confirm a treaty with many for one
week'". A recent news report (Reuters - August 12, 2000 A.D.) stated that
Israel is requesting that King Juan Carlos help "mediate" the current
Middle East peace process between Israel and several of Israel's Arab enemies,
primarily the PLO. The news report stated that those involved were hoping the
planned meeting in Spain in early 2001 A.D. (or perhaps before) would
"consolidate" the peace process. The term, "consolidate",
is a synonym for "confirm", and means to "strengthen". What

is also interesting in regard to Spain and the Middle East
peace process is that the peace process began in Madrid, Spain in 1991 A.D.. Also, see The Covenant for a copy of a document supposedly circulated among all jews in 1992.

Spain is not only deeply involved in the Middle East peace
process directly, but also in several significant "indirect" ways.
The Secretary-General of NATO since 1995 A.D., the person who makes the
military decisions for NATO, has been Javier Solana, the former Spanish foreign
minister. NATO would likely be the "military force", under the United
Nations, and representing the European Union, which would "oversee"
any kind of peace agreement between Israel and the Arabs.

Also, the European Union appointed a special representative
to the Middle East peace process, having the title, "European Union
Special Envoy to the Middle East peace process". This "EU Special
Envoy" is Miguel Moratinos, the former Spanish ambassador to Israel.

Interestingly, a former ambassador to Spain, Shlomo Ben-Ami,
is Israel's representative in seeking King Juan Carlos' "mediation"
in the peace talks. So, there are at least three separate ways Spain is
"indirectly" involved in the Middle East peace process.

Thus, King Juan Carlos, as the leader of Spain, is quite
"involved", actually, in the Middle East peace process. As mentioned
before, one of the primary descriptions of the Antichrist in the Bible is as
the "'prince who is to come'" who shall "'confirm a treaty with
many for one week'" in Daniel 9:27. King Juan Carlos, based on the
evidence presented, could quite likely fulfill this prophecy by "consolidating"
the Middle East peace process.

Another prophecy in the Bible regarding the Antichrist is
found in Revelation 13:18, where the "Beast" is the Antichrist.
Revelation 13:18 (New King James Version) says, "Here is wisdom. Let him
who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number
of a man: His number is 666." Revelation 13:17 identifies this
"number of the beast" as the "number of his name". King
Juan Carlos has versions of his name in 10 languages, each using the same
numbering system (except for Latin, which uses the Roman numeral system), which
each add to 666.

The languages in which King Juan Carlos has versions of his
name which

which is as follows:
1,2,3,...,9;10,20,30,...,90;100,200,300,...,900. The spelling in at least two
or three of the versions is questionable, though not unreasonable; and the
French version is perhaps unlikely, though possible.

The English version of King Juan Carlos' name which adds to
666 is: "(John) Charles V of Spain". "John" is placed in
parentheses in order to be able to "identify" him as "Charles
V", the fifth king of Spain with the name, "Charles".

The version which is most likely the fulfillment of
Revelation 13:18, based on several indications, is the "Scriptural"
Greek version (which uses no "obsolete" Greek letters for numbers).
That version is, in Spanish: "Juan Carlos de Borbon II". In
"Scriptural" Greek, this becomes: "Ioann Karlos de Borbon
B".

(One interesting side note: King Juan Carlos' son, Felipe,
has a version of his name which adds to 666 in "Scriptural" Greek.
That version is, in Spanish: "Felipe de Borbon II" [he would be,
should he become king, the second Bourbon king of Spain with the name,
"Philip" {"Felipe"}]. In "Scriptural" Greek, this
becomes: "Feliph de Borbon B". [Prince Felipe was born in 1968
A.D..])

So, several prophecies of the Bible appear to indicate that
the Antichrist will be the ruler of Spain; and Spain is rather involved in the
Middle East peace process. These facts, combined with the versions of King Juan
Carlos' name in 10 languages, particularly in "Scriptural" Greek,
which each add to 666 using the same numbering system (except for Latin, which
uses the Roman numeral system), strongly suggest that King Juan Carlos is the
Antichrist. I, personally, believe that he is.

Interesting.

From the 1994 book by Charles Taylor. King Juan has a
sailboat named "The Dragon" Also: From the 1992 Olympics in Spain
which King Juan orchestrated. /The closing spectacle at the Olympic games this
past summer in Barcelona, Spain, was an exercise in demonic/pagan symbolism
which ended with the mating of a Black Serpent and the Greek goddess of love
and fertility, the multi-breasted Artemis who then gave birth to the
"Great Dragon", the head of which rose 75 feet above the top of the
stadium. The alleged theme of the pageant was the birth of the world in fire
and it was represented by 250 happy devils...who began the "festival of
fire". Giant wooden structures including 2 caped figures of Satan and
grinning goats head, were set ablaze and constantly moved through the cavorting
devils. A group of devils, one dressed in the robes of a king,danced frenziedly
around a fiery maypole... Weird tones, underlaid with constant jungle drumming,
were sporadically joined by eerie wails, long sighs and howling. Occult symbols
were everywhere. Well represented was the Baphomet(goats head of witchcraft),
the pentagram or "devils star", the maypole, which is an ancient
pagan phallic symbol, and demonic faces well endowed with horns. As expected, television
network commentators were "awed" by the spectacle. At times the
audience joined the celebration, swaying to the demonic music with arms
outstretched to heaven. King Juan once made a speech to the Argentine Republic
about democracy and he said "NEVER MUST ANY IDEA OF THE STATE OR ANY
MESSIANIC DELIVERER COME TO WREST FROM US OUR DIGNITY AS FREE MEN". Need I
say more?

Here's what the late medium Ruth Montgomery said about King
Juan in an interview in 1987, "He is going to make some very wise decisions
within the next decade that will not only help prepare his people, but Europe,
too. Question: Prepare for the shift? Answer: Yes. The shift refers to the
great moment in history when they expect life on Mother Earth will
"shift" to the Utopian Age of Aquarius when their people will take
over the events of Earth, all opposition will be quelled, and there will be
harmony on Earth because the opposing people(Christians and Jews and any who do
not follow their Messiah Maitreya or the Space Brothers and Masters of Wisdom)
will all be transferred to "another dimension". Sounds like the
rapture to me!
